A more accurate title would probably be "120M stolen from hacked South African bank via 1,400 convenience store ATMs across Japan"

Actually, a more accurate title would be "12M stolen from hacked South African bank via 1,400 ATMs across Japan"

Actually, a more accurate title would be "$13M stolen from hacked South African bank via 1,400 ATMs across Japan"

Actually..... Since this is a pedantic chain....

13M was not stolen. 12M was stolen (and some more).

Thus the more accurate title would be "12M stolen from hacked South African bank via 1,400 ATMs across Japan" since the statement in your title is demonstrably false, while the other title is (presumably, from the article) true.

1.4 billion yen stolen from 1,400 ATMs across Japan. There is a 100,000 yen limit per card per day from convenience stores.

That's 2X or 3X the common ATM limits in the US (which seem to vary from bank to bank, or even account to account). Is there a higher limit at non-convenience-store ATMs?

Depending on the bank and your type of card between 500,000-2,000,000+.
